Man charged over child porn

A MAN from the north-eastern suburbs has been charged with possessing and distributing child-exploitation material.

Sexual Crime Investigation Branch detectives arrested the man, 64, today and charged him with one count of possession of child-exploitation material and one count of distribute child-exploitation material.

Police will allege the offences were of an aggravated nature because of the ages of the children in the material.

The offences allegedly occurred in March and September this year at the man's home.

The man was granted bail and is expected to appear in the Holden Hill Magistrates Court next month.
